I have in my head the idea to someday soon make "groups." work as a
collection of groups, just as for "graphs."  I didn't know about
"posets."  I think it would be best if the capitalized names were
classes or categories as often as possible, and we used the lower case
for these collections.  We saw some confusion on another thread
already about Permutation vs Permutations.

The only advantage I could see to uppercase would be if every category
*automatically* came with the infrastructure for collections.  But it
would be best if the collections were disjoint from methods on tab-
completion, so maybe this is totally impractical.

Short answer: lowercase seems to work, uppercase has the potential for
confusion/conflicts.
